Quote

Readers prefer a world they can relate to.

I loved books; I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world.

When I was little, I thought everyone in the world liked to read because it was so fun. But then I realised that was not exactly true. I want other kids to read and write more all over the world, because it helps them to understand things better.

I loved to read and would read anything that roused my interest, whether it was below my age level or above it, even if I could barely make sense of it.

I have always loved reading books for children and young adults, particularly when those books are mysteries.

My first generation of young readers now have not only children, but some of them have grandchildren to whom they're introducing their old passion.

I'm a voracious reader, and I love to throw myself into it.

I've always been drawn to writing for young readers. The books that I read growing up remain in my mind very strongly.

I've always been fascinated by books. When I was young, my grandfather used to hand out a book - which would be anything from a biography to a classic - to me every week and ask me to write a piece on what I thought about it. On the other hand, my mother used to love reading thrillers and bestsellers.

I loved to read, still do, and it seemed that the writing was a result of the love of books and reading and libraries.
